Benefits of technology
The patent text describes a system and method for accurately identifying the activity of a mobile thing (MT) based on data from a wearable device (WCD) that is transported by the MT. The MT activity detection is based on analyzing accelerometer data from an accelerometer associated with the WCD. The system can use location data and other sensor data to determine the MT activity. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more accurate and efficient way to identify the MT activity and take intelligent actions based on it.
Problems solved by technology
Activity detection can be a problematic and difficult task.
The research admits that they were unable to improve the accuracy.
It does not provide detailed practical applications of any methods.
The paper discusses that using averages and differences between averages can be effective and that other methods have “disappointing performance.” The research focused on distinguishing two activities: walking and running, and then three activities: walking, running and jumping.
Overall, the research admits that the results are “not outstanding” and many of the methods with high complexity and computational cost were expected to perform better.

Systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed for accurately identifying a moving thing motion activity (MTMA) associated with a mobile thing (MT) using sensor data from one or more sensors associated with a wireless communication device (WCD) transported by the MT so as to enable or initiate a further one or more activity based actions. One such method, among others, comprises: (a) receiving first and second data from one or more sensors (e.g., accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc.) associated with a wireless communication device (WCD) transported by a mobile thing (MT), the first and second data indicative of movement of the WCD; (b) determining reference data that defines a reference framework from the first data; (c) normalizing the second data with the reference data so that the second data can be analyzed in the reference framework; and (d) identifying an MTMA associated with the MT based upon the normalized second data.
